OCALA, Fla. -- The W.O.O.F. Program is helping dogs find homes in Marion County. Started in 2011, "Women Offering Obedience and Friendship" was modeled after Alachua County Animal Services' Paws on Parole program.

Patriot Service Dogs has partnered with inmates from the Lowell Women's Prison work with dogs from the Marion County Humane Society for 8 weeks to make them easier to adopt, teaching them basic obedience and house training.

Inmates also help train service dogs for disabled veterans through a more intensive, 2 year program.
